Standardised Price List

We adhere to the principle of complete transparency when it comes to costs; nothing is concealed or misrepresented.

It is possible to be deceived into thinking that all funeral homes offer the same standard of goods and level of service, and that the only thing that matters when choosing one is pricing. However, this is not the case.

To make sure you select a funeral director who will give you the level of care, attention, and service you deserve, you should take into account more than just the price, such as the company’s reputation, the calibre of its facilities, the quality of its goods, and perhaps most importantly of all, the staff. These are the people who will be responsible for caring for your family and your loved one.

This Price List is required by law to be published by all funeral directors for a set of uniform goods and services. This will enable you to compare funeral directors’ prices and think through your options before you make a decision.
